Transmigrated as The Best Female Character of the Year

At a loss for a comeback, Lana Sheffield saw the figure suddenly appear and broke into a triumphant smile.

That single address, ”Mrs. Sterling,” made her absolutely ecstatic.

Rose Shaw looked at Raymond Ford. ’So soon? And he’s already stabbing us in the back!’

”Rose! Melody, you’re here too! Don’t you recognize Mrs. Sterling? Even if Melody doesn’t know her, Rose, it’s impossible that you don’t, right?” Raymond Ford deliberately raised his voice.

”Everyone here should know that President Sterling is married, right?” Raymond Ford then asked the crowd.

Who would dare say they didn’t know? Everyone nodded in agreement.

”Yes, yes, of course we know.”

Goaded by Raymond Ford, Lana Sheffield felt even more justified. ’This Raymond Ford is pretty sharp.’

Raymond Ford glanced at Melody Monroe and Rose Shaw, a brief smile flashing in his eyes.

’What’s wrong with Rose Shaw? Has she lost her mind? Still siding with Melody Monroe.’

’Lana Sheffield is President Sterling’s legal wife! Who the hell does Melody Monroe think she is?’

’But this is good, too. Now that Rose Shaw has offended Lana Sheffield, her life is going to be difficult!’

Lana Sheffield walked up to Melody Monroe, one hand on her lower back. ”Melody Monroe, you’re pretending you don’t know me on purpose. Don’t think for a second I can’t see right through you!”

”I’m sorry, I truly didn’t know President Sterling was married. So you’re his wife. Please forgive my rudeness,” Melody Monroe replied coolly.

Lana Sheffield raised her hand and slapped Melody Monroe across the face!

The sharp crack of the slap stunned everyone present.

Rose Shaw started to rush forward but was pulled back by Melody Monroe.

A burning pain seared Melody Monroe’s left cheek, and her face felt stiff. It was clear just how much force Lana Sheffield had put into that slap.

She felt a wetness at the corner of her mouth. Raising a hand to wipe it away, she saw a smear of bright red on her fingertips.

Rose Shaw glanced at Melody Monroe, who was now glaring furiously at Lana Sheffield. Five red welts stood out on Melody’s fair cheek, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of her lip.

Melody Monroe calmly wiped the blood from her lip. ’That was careless of me. I never expected Lana Sheffield would actually slap me in public.’

She had certainly gotten a taste of Lana Sheffield’s tyranny now!

”Today’s slap is a warning! Request to terminate your own contract and get the hell out of Stellaris! Don’t let me see you here ever again!”

”You don’t have the authority to terminate Melody’s contract,” Rose Shaw cut in.

”Rose Shaw, are you trying to get fired?”

”Does President Sterling know you’re doing this? Even as his wife, you have no right to interfere in the company’s internal affairs.”

Lana Sheffield raised her hand to slap Rose Shaw.

Rose Shaw shot her hand up and caught Lana Sheffield’s wrist, leaving them in a stalemate.

”What are you all doing?” a commanding voice rang out.

Hearing that voice, the crowd quickly parted.

Christopher Sterling walked toward them, his calm gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Lana Sheffield suddenly yanked her hand free from Rose Shaw’s grasp and pretended to stumble. ”Rose Shaw, how dare you push me!”

”I didn’t push you.” Rose Shaw immediately looked to Christopher Sterling. ”President Sterling, I didn’t push her.”

Melody Monroe noticed that Rose Shaw’s composure was greatly affected the moment Christopher Sterling appeared.

Christopher Sterling wore a white casual outfit and glasses, exuding a gentle and refined aura.

However, the moment he appeared, the entire atmosphere shifted, making everyone involuntarily tense up.

Melody Monroe glanced at Christopher Sterling. This was the first time she had seen him, and he was much as she’d imagined from the book. She was indifferent to him as a character; in fact, on Rose Shaw’s account, she even felt a slight aversion.

However, Christopher Sterling was undeniably handsome.
